FX Gives Pilot Order to “Seven Sisters” Starring Elizabeth Olsen
The pilot comes from “Succession” writer Will Arbery.
FX is moving ahead with a pilot for a new drama series, Seven Sisters, set to star Elizabeth Olsen.
What’s Happening:
- Deadline exclusively reports that FX has given a pilot order to Seven Sisters, a new drama series from executive producers Will Arbery (Succession), who wrote the pilot; Sean Durkin (The Iron Claw), who will direct it; and Garrett Basch (What We Do in the Shadows).
- In the series, a large, tight-knit family begins to unravel when a sister (Olsen) starts communing with a voice no one else can hear —forcing each of them to confront long-buried secrets.
- The series sees the reuniting of Olsen and Durken nearly 15 years after the award-winning 2011 movie Martha Marcy May Marlene.
- If the pilot goes forward, this would be Bach’s fifth series for FX through his company Dive’s first-look deal, following Devs, Reservation Dogs, What We Do in the Shadows and Sterlin Harjo’s upcoming Tulsa noir drama starring Ethan Hawke.
- Bach also executive produced the recent Hulu series Interior Chinatown.
- Olsen is perhaps best known for her starring role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Wanda Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch.
- Other upcoming and recent roles for the actress include The Assessment, Eternity and Panic Carefully.
